A Little History of The Perry House

Having fallen in love with the Monterey Peninsula during his many sailing trips to the area, Captain Manuel Perry, a New England Ship Captain, moved his family to Monterey. Captain Perry built the original house in 1860 where his family lived for generations, but during the depression and war years of the 1930s-1940s the house fell in disrepair and was later marked to be replaced with an apartment building.nnnThankfully, in the 1960s, Margaret (“Maggie”) Downer saw the potential of the property and set out to save it, and after many meetings with the city council she succeeded in convincing them to let her bring the property back to life. Ms. Downer conceived the idea of a party room for the Carriage House, which sits among the gardens and was originally a true carriage barn and horse stable. She hired a famous San Francisco Architect to design it around a huge stained-glass dome that she found in San Jose. From the 1960s into the 1990s, the Perry House has been home to art galleries and flower shops, as well as a restaurant and tea room.
